Aprons!

Welcome friends.  As you know I have been slowly redecorating our home.  I HOPE to be finished with all my projects by the time he comes home.  When I turned 30 my daughter started an apron collection for me.  For over 20 years I have been trying to figure out how to display them.  I was reading  Miss Janice's blog one day HERE and she had the cutest display ever!  So of course I stole, (borrowed) her idea.  It has taken me a while.
The picture is not very good and I am not finished but I had to share with you.  I bought a $160 room divider at Hobby Lobby for $29!  I had someone screw one panel into my laundry room wall and I made a door.  I think it looks so cute.  I have always had curtains there, and of course everyone uses the back door (LOL).

This is a huge improvement!.  I grabbed the first apron I found, DH gave it to me a few years ago.  I am really proud,  Of course I will slide it over and there will be other aprons there when I am finished.  What do you think.  I am excited that I can finally display the many aprons my wonderful daughter gave me.

Watermelon Saga Ends

Welcome friends, well today my watermelon gardening came to a tasty end.  This watermelon picture was taken on August 8th.

Today that same watermelon and the other one was picked,  I tried to show the same cup to give you an idea of how it has grown.

Same cup, fuzzy picture (sorry bout that) this is 2 watermelons.  Since I had no idea how to tell when them were ripe, I just decided on  today.  When I cut into them they both sorta popped, so I think they were perfectly ripe. They were very juicy and I was told they were very sweet.  I am proud of my watermelon.

Everyone got in on the fruits of our labor!  Hamlet enjoys watermelon rind so much, Yam Yam not so much.  Hamlet is on a diet so this was an extra special treat.

Thank you for stopping by, I think I will try watermelons again next year.  I am getting ready to do my fall planting.  Are you planning on anything for fall?

WHOO HOO!

Doug got his airline confirmation today!  He will be home Oct 12 and go back Nov 11.  I am so excited.  I told him to bring suitcases full of scarves and silk!  He has plenty of fall clothes here.  Sure does not need them in Saudi.   We are going to do some traveling (including seeing that Grandson!)

He is going to try to find something in the States but his contract does not expire until Feb/2011.  He has to decide by Nov 15th if he will sign for another year.  With 9.6% unemployment in our area I am afraid he will have sign for another year.  But we will see.

Doin' the happy dance!

Watermelon Tragedy

Welcome to my watermelon update.  Remember this little guy about 3 weeks ago?

This is him this morning.  Bummer.  I guess the terrible heat did it.  This is my first watermelon experience so I don't know what caused it.  Well I have 2 more so I will keep you updated.

I read every comment and enjoy them so much!

Josh's big Day

Welcome friends for stopping in.  Josh got to go on a special trip today.  She knew something special was happening.

This place is neat but what happens here, hum.......

Yogurt, my very own yogurt.  Yum, what a great day.

So did you do something fun on this hot balmy day?

Was I An axe murderer in a previous life?

Three weeks I totaled Doug's truck. Randy Yates did a great job and I thank him. I got it back 2 days ago. Today I was going to the humane society and a lady ran a red light, guess what totaled Doug's truck, again. Ain't life grand. All are well except I have a headache.

In Memory RIP NING

Ning was a part of our family only a short time.  I found him dead in the drive this morningabout 10:00am after looking all night.  Who could do this what a loving pet.  His world started out abused.  He last few months were happy.  Our hearts are breaking.  Ning while you will not be in our lives you will never be forgotten.

Love Mom, Dad, Josh,Hamlet, YamYam
